In Celebration of National Cookie Month...

Brownies - so many kinds, but if you could imagine them in a round shape, shorter, and great on the go then this could be for you. Fudgies, as the people from King Arthur call them, have that classic shiny and cracked topped finish you find on fudgy brownies. Dark, rich, and most of all chewy these cookies moved to the top of my list. They have a very slight and subtle espresso background that you could easily increase to make mocha brownie cookies. You can barely taste the coffee flavor though, as it is just there to enhance the deep chocolate flavor. You could bake them longer to get crispy cookies, but my vote is to make them as is to keep them ever so fudgy and chewy.

From chocolate to pizza - what a good food night! This Potato and Roasted Pepper with Goat Cheese pizza was a surprise hit. If you would of told me a couple years ago that I would make, eat, let alone enjoy red peppers and goat cheese I would of thought you were crazy! The combination of smokey peppers, creamy soft goat cheese, thin sliced red potatoes on top of a crispy thin and nutty whole wheat crust made my night complete. No leftovers unfortunely because we just couldn't stop eating this one.

I have it on good athority (ok, directly from the mouth of the producer) that The Food Network is crazed looking for people to demo cookie recipes for an upcoming special...go to their site and look for the link, it should be there someplace...these just look too divine!

Both the cookies and pizza look so good. Though I would probably put about 3x the goat cheese. Once a dollop of goat cheese is presesnt in my food, the entire log must be added (its a sick addiction I know).

Wow, those chocolate cookies look really good, nice and fudgy! I love chocolate and fudgy brownies so I may try your fudgies some time!The potatoes on the pizza don't really call my attention, however the pizza crust sure did! I need to try making whole wheat pizza dough soon, as I like everything whole wheat, and pizza... well, who does not like pizza?!!!Ana

Hey Everyone! Thanks for the comments! I did post the recipe that we frequently use for WW Pizza dough in the recipe section. I've never had potatoes on pizza until this one either - I really liked it! Thanks again for checking us out!
